Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho rules out Moses loan

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho does not want to send Victor Moses or Bertrand Traore out on loan this season.

Moses has spent the last two seasons on loan at Liverpool and Stoke, while Traore was with Vitesse last season.

Both
players have returned to Chelsea ahead of the new campaign and Mourinho
insists both are firmly in his plans for the 2015-16 season.

“Victor is strong, he is experienced. He has got good competition but he is an experienced guy,” Mourinho said.

“He
is fast, he is aggressive. He needs to learn to play with us obviously
but I am happy with his week and his 45 minutes. Victor has had an
evolution in the past couple of years.”

When
asked about Traore, Mourinho added: “He is 19, he’s a kid. He was in
Africa, he wasn’t having the tests and now comes to Chelsea.

“He
is not going on loan we want to keep him and improve him. With the ball
he has a lot of talent but sometimes doesn’t make the right decisions.
We had [such] situations in the first half [against Red Bulls].

“This is absolutely normal, he is a good kid and I repeat he isn’t going on loan.”
